A Couple New Kits

I wanted to dye up a couple of kits in some deeper colors for the shop, so I chose a Deep Watermelon Red and a Deep Terracotta Rose.  Both kits have the patterned powernet, the last of the piece I had, and the red kit has the last piece of lace from NYC.  They both dyed up beautifully and will coordinate well with the current Soft Pink and Golden Vanilla Kits for mix and match fun.

A Few New Kits!

It's been a very busy summer, which means there has been less time for dyeing kits!  I hope that I'll be able to get the stock back up in the Etsy shop this fall when the children go back school.  In the meanwhile, I've dyed up Golden Vanilla, Soft Pink and Pale Lilac.  I've got a Wedgewood Blue in the dye pot right now, too, and a Pale Iris going into the pot tomorrow morning.

Both the Golden Vanilla and Soft Pink have some pretty lace that I picked up in NYC last time I was there.  I only bought enough for two kits, and these are the ones.  I will definitely buy more of this lace - it dyed up nicely and some parts have a nice sheen, while other are more matte, making for an interesting lace.

The Wedgewood Blue and Pale Iris kits will have some new powernet that I got in that has a pattern.  I only bought a small amount, so this will only be in four kits that I dye.  This is how it looks in white, before dyeing, and should be interesting to work with for back bands and even overlays.

The Pale Lilac, sadly (for me, but good for you!), has a few small flaws that can be cut around:

This is a gorgeous color, but I'm going to have to offer this kit at a discount due to the flaws.  If you want this kit, it will be $10, plus $5 for Priority Shipping or $3.00 for 1st class shipping.  Please email me at summersetbanks "at" gmail "dot" com and we'll get everything set and the kit into the mail.
